what do you give your 11month old with only 2 bottom teeth?

I feel she is a bit far behind on the eating spectrum. She started walking 8.5 months, says “hey” waves etc but when it comes to food, I feel like she’s behind. she’s totally over baby food. She will eat yogurt every now and then. She will eat ritz crackers, Cheerios, sweet potatoes, I just tried little pita bread that she ate pretty well. She likes raisins. She eats the arrow root cookies now and then but makes me so nervous because she usually bites it in half and has the half in her mouth. she loves macaroni and pasta. I cut everything in half (like penne and elbows) because I feel like she will choke. I feel like it’s me holding her back from eating. my friends baby was 1yesr in July eating a slice of pizza! I feel she’s not even close to eating a cupcake st her first birthday

You can give her any regular food that is soft enough and cut small enough. My lo has his bottom two teeth for four months before the top four came in. I fed him all kinds of table food. Beans are a good start. Avocado. Eggs. Toast. Ground beef. Cheese. Strawberries. Banana. Well cooked noodles. Just some suggestions

They all go at their own pace. My LO (little one) is just now breaking the top two teeth. She has eaten all kinds of things with just the bottom two. Meat, steamed veggies, rice, pasta and pizza, etc..However she does not feed herself yet (she will happily guide my hand into her mouth 🤷‍♀️ they all develop at their own pace. Like yours she’s walking, talking and signing, can’t win them all.

My daughter also has two bottom teeth and no signs yet of any other tooth so far.. i give her oatmeal in her formula with one of the berries then for lunch i make a thick soup of veggies n rice with beans and make it into a fine paste same thing with dinner.. if i give her something that she can hold like a broccoli or sweet potato she will chew them but for lunch and dinner she just wants to swallow and just gags for most part..i guess its the texture of the soup that she prefers.. starting today i have her what we had without making into a paste she just had couple of spoons 😚😚
